February’s Spice: Chipotle Chili Powder
Chipotle powder is a mildly spicy chili powder made from chipotle peppers, which are smoked and dried jalapeno peppers. It is perfect for adding smokiness and flavor to many dishes. Chipotle powder is used extensively across Mexican cuisine and is also a prominent feature in Southwestern cooking and Tex Mex dishes. It is a funky, spicy flavor that is perfect for burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. Not only that, but you can also use it to add color and spiciness to stews, soups, and curries. You can even sprinkle it on top of your popcorn if you are feeling a bit adventurous!
